What is it with Republican women, anyway?

Has this person never heard of doing homework for her job? From Think Progress, which has a video link:

On Fox News Sunday today, White House press secretary Dana Perino was named the "Power Player of the Week." She explained to host Chris Wallace that, in addition to the pressure to look good, she faces an extra challenge as a woman — understanding military jargon:
Some of the terms I just don’t know, I haven’t grown up knowing. The type of missiles that are out there: patriots and scuds and cruise missiles and tomahawk missiles. And I think that men just by osmosis understand all of these things, and they’re things that I really have to work at — to know the difference between a carrier and a destroyer, and what it means when one of those is being launched to a certain area.

Golly. She gets my award for personifying the woman Republicans idealize most: the happy lady in the kitchen baking cookies.

For this she's paid $141,000 per year.

I was going to say that she can't be that much of a blockhead to have gotten where she is. But then, she is a Republican in a Republican administration where being a blockhead appears to be a pre-requisite for both males and females.
